LANL to sponsor Traffic Skills 101 Course

In consideration of National Bike Month and the impending completion of yet one more segment of the Diamond Drive Bicycling Superhighway (see photo in link), LANL will sponsor another League of American Bicyclists skills course.

You will need to be a LANL employee to take this. However, if you are not a LANL employee and there is enough interest, the local LCI contingent can schedule another course not on company time.

Description: The course covers bicycle safety checks, fixing a flat, on-bike skills and crash avoidance techniques and includes a student manual. Recommended for adults and children above age fourteen, this fast-paced, nine-hour course prepares cyclists for a full understanding of vehicular cycling.

Please note: The ABC Quick Check is a bicycle safety check performed to ensure your bicycle is fit for riding. Please make sure it is fit for the class in advance--see me if you have any questions. No point on showing up with a bike that is not safe to ride!
